Support Security Management Plans, compliance reporting, audit and assurance activities.

Support Operational Readiness Reviews (ORR) and Service Commencement activities.

Produce clear, reusable security and service management documentation.

Coordinate with incoming and incumbent suppliers, transition teams and client stakeholders.

Support operational readiness across incident management, vulnerability management, monitoring, backup/recovery, access control and service reporting.

Key Experience:

Cyber Security Governance, GRC or Security Assurance experience.

Strong experience within SIAM / multi-supplier environments.

Good understanding of security and service management processes.

Experience with supplier onboarding, transition or transformation programmes.

Strong stakeholder management and documentation skills.

Experience supporting compliance, audit and assurance activities.

Knowledge of NIST CSF, Secure by Design and NCSC guidance would be advantageous. xjnqpsq
